The play will tug on heartstrings, as it tells the tale of the women of Troy, waiting to be made slaves by the Greeks after their great city was conquered.

The themes of war and loss are as relevant today as ever, with conflict in the Middle East and disaster on American shores.

The play debuts Sept. 30 and runs through Oct. 9. For more information on times and tickets call 651-2265.
